| echo 'alias "c=xclip"' >> ~/.bashrc | |
| echo 'alias "v=xclip -o"' >> ~/.bashrc | |
| echo 'alias "cs=xclip -selection clipboard"' >> ~/.bashrc | |
| echo 'alias "vs=xclip -o -selection clipboard"' >> ~/.bashrc |
For example, if you want the output of a command (e.g. echo) to be copied to your selection clipboard (the one you paste using Ctrl+V), you can do:
echo "the output of a command" | cs
To get what's on your selection clipboard (things you copied with Ctrl+C) and pipe it to a command (e.g. base64):
vs | base64
pbcopy/pbpaste can be used for the same sort of thing on mac
